[20:37] <@BradGM> +++1024Hours- Sibellus Time+++
[20:37] <@BradGM> +++ Mockingbird reunited with Falcon, another of Inquisitor Jex’s cell, before meeting their new cell member, Guardsman Lyra Plath and taking an underground train to the Arbites Fortress to rendez-vous with Justicar Wake. After settling into a secure room, Jex revealed the reason of everyone’s presence
[20:37] <@BradGM> the name “Galland” was actually a raider vessel,part of the fleet of Rogue Trader Markus von Groudl. It docked at the Scintilla Prime Station no less than 40 hours ago, its lance weapon matching the one that fired on the surface of Sisk. Furthermore, Falcon was tailing a certain Earnest Barg, a Crime Lord with suspected ties to the Cold Trade.
[20:37] <@BradGM> . A meeting for an exchange of Xeno goods is to happen in 29.5 hours time, at an unknown underhive location, merely narrowed to 3 most likely places by Falcon.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Their plan was to stakeouts all locations with Arbites support, but Mockingbird, being more practical, suggested shadowing Barg and his cronies, in the off chance the heretics decided to conduct their affairs in a more remove location.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Despite warning of the dangers of the Underhive, Mira assured they would be able to secure the help of Bowels, a ratskin guide and merchant, whom the Acolytes dealt with in the past.
[20:37] <@BradGM> The only obligation given by Jex was to take both Gallus and Barg alive, as numerous questions were still unanswered.+++

[20:43] <+Mira_Atella> "I need to stop and see Bradon on the way out, he should have the information. That was a while back, but he's the most likely person to know Bowels."
[20:44] <@BradGM> Jex "Of course, the wagon is waiting if you need to return at the Tricorn."

[20:49] <@BradGM> Jex and his Acolytes return to the Tricorn, while Jonatan round up equipment and Arbites for the stakeouts.

[21:21] <+Mira_Atella> "If we don't hear anything, we'll need to cover them each anyway, so we might as well go with the worst case first."

[20:37] <@BradGM> +++ Mockingbird reunited with Falcon, another of Inquisitor Jex’s cell, before meeting their new cell member, Guardsman Lyra Plath and taking an underground train to the Arbites Fortress to rendez-vous with Justicar Wake. After settling into a secure room, Jex revealed the reason of everyone’s presence
[20:37] <@BradGM> the name “Galland” was actually a raider vessel,part of the fleet of Rogue Trader Markus von Groudl. It docked at the Scintilla Prime Station no less than 40 hours ago, its lance weapon matching the one that fired on the surface of Sisk. Furthermore, Falcon was tailing a certain Earnest Barg, a Crime Lord with suspected ties to the Cold Trade.
[20:37] <@BradGM> . A meeting for an exchange of Xeno goods is to happen in 29.5 hours time, at an unknown underhive location, merely narrowed to 3 most likely places by Falcon.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Their plan was to stakeouts all locations with Arbites support, but Mockingbird, being more practical, suggested shadowing Barg and his cronies, in the off chance the heretics decided to conduct their affairs in a more remove location.
[20:37] <@BradGM> Despite warning of the dangers of the Underhive, Mira assured they would be able to secure the help of Bowels, a ratskin guide and merchant, whom the Acolytes dealt with in the past.
[20:37] <@BradGM> The only obligation given by Jex was to take both Gallus and Barg alive, as numerous questions were still unanswered.+++

[21:57] <@BradGM> Bowels seems taken off for you, until he seems te recognise you "Oh it's you...So got some sense and come to get a pot huh?"
[21:58] <+Mira_Atella> "And possibly something else if you have a few moments. Paid time, of course."
[21:58] <@BradGM> He shows you a slightly less crappy one "I got this one down in Atomic Field. Barely used, It hink it was an oil pan or somethin'.."
[21:59] <+Jonatan> "I'll take my chances" Jon deadpans, already wearing a helmet
[21:59] <@BradGM> Bowels "Paid time? Need a guide huh?"
[22:00] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to know about a meeting location. I figured you'd know about the goings on down here and could help us narrow it down."
[22:03] <@BradGM> Bowels "Meeting location? That's anywhere and everywhere, but business is slow today, so I can spare some time off my busy mechant schedule. for the right price."
[22:04] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course. You remember my old techie friend? He has the information to help you." Fishes out 100 thrones and hands them to him "More if you have good information."
[22:04] <@BradGM> Bowels quixkly takes the bills "Hey, watch what you show here..the Rust knows all."
[22:05] <@BradGM> He counts the bills under his coat "Ok well, let's get out of here, better to talk hum?"
[22:05] <@Grendel> "The Rust?"
[22:06] * +Mira_Atella gives him a nod. "We'll follow you."
[22:06] <+Jonatan> ((Can I make a Lore test to see if I know what that is?))
[22:06] <@BradGM> ((lore (underhive) ))
[22:07] <+Jonatan> (Yes)

[22:07] <+DiceServitor> Jonatan rolls [ 60% (or Lower) : 12 37%, Success ]
[22:08] <@BradGM> Jon, Ratskin are the antive inhabitants of the underhive; many, if not all, worship the Hive as being a Diety, every sector, tunnel or decripted building is merely the will of the Hive Spirit.
[22:09] <+Jonatan> ((Heresy))
[22:09] <@BradGM> Rather heretical state of mind as well, but it is not like the Arbitres got time to clease this; better let the Redemptionnist bands take care of it
[22:10] <@BradGM> Bowels "Yeah it,s all over the place here, quite old, quite wise too."
[22:10] <@BradGM> *You exit the manufactorium skeleton, finding yourself in a access tunnel
[22:10] * +Jonatan gives a disapproving grunt, but otherwise says nothing
[22:10] * @Grendel keeps following, his auger array working constantly, optical mechadendrite sweeping the area around them.
[22:11] <@BradGM> No one wihtin your range Grendle, apart you 4
[22:11] * @Grendel begins to provide Bowels on the infomration of the 8 locations.
[22:12] <@BradGM> ((7))
[22:13] <@Grendel> ((ah, sorry))
[22:15] <@BradGM> Bowels "Hmm..well a coupe of 'em are just in the udnerhive, 'other's in Toxic Falls, 1 sounds like lower Hive city places, th'last 2 are pretty deep, pretty close to skavie turf too. So what, don't you people can't meet in your giant tower?"
[22:15] <@BradGM> Bowels "Under that Su-un thing?"
[22:16] <+Jonatan> "They are people who don't want us to find them"
[22:17] <+Mira_Atella> "We need to narrow down which ones would be appropriate for the type of meeting they're having."
[22:17] <@BradGM> Bowels "Ok, what type of meeting that's gonna happen?"
[22:18] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel to explain that part.
[22:18] <@BradGM> Bowels "And who are those poeple meeting? couple of gangs? Friends of that guy?" *Shakes his tumbs at Jon*
[22:20] <@Grendel> "People from another planet. Rich people."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Bowles "Other planet?..W..why would they come here? Don't the rich folk like the spire?"
[22:21] <@Grendel> "They wish not to be observed."
[22:21] <@BradGM> Bowels seems to be totally baffled about the fact that perople off world would come to the underhive. rich people to boot
[22:23] <@BradGM> Bowels "All right...They those 2 gangs of rich folks fomr antoher planet..ro seomthing, are coming to one of those places you talked to me?"
[22:24] <@Grendel> "Yes."
[22:24] <@BradGM> ((Bard is actually a local crime boss btw))
[22:25] <@BradGM> ((well, legitimate business man, actually lack of proof hindered many investigations))
[22:25] <@Grendel> "Bard is one of those involved."
[22:26] <@BradGM> ((Barg, sorry))
[22:27] * @Grendel adjusts his respirator. "Barg."
[22:27] <+Jonatan> "Bless you"
[22:28] <@BradGM> Bowels "Barg? Like Earnest Barg? Ah, no wonder a couple of aplces sounded familiar, usual meeting place for his gang, they got the local gangers under his controls near the Hive City, keeps the drug flow going wihtout having too much trouble.."
[22:28] <+Mira_Atella> "So with him involved, some of those places can be taken off the list of possibilities?"
[22:31] <@BradGM> Bowels "Well thsoe 2 down are dangerous, very dangerous, too much skavies running about. Sure you won't be disturbed by anyone sane, but you run the risk to get eaten alive. not a nice aplce for rich folks if you ask me."
[22:33] <@BradGM> Bowels "I don't knwo about the Hive city one, I didn,t go there for a while, but the Roaders in Toxic Falls has been Watch Gang there for a while, nice guns for a underhive gang if you ask me."
[22:33] <+Mira_Atella> "Alright, and would any of the remaining locations not be suitable for transporting and selling Xeno artifacts?"
[22:35] <@BradGM> Bowels "Xeno? I don't know about that, but that sounds illegal. And dealing something illegal so clsoe to the Hive city would bring attention from the enforcers, or him. I'd go with Toxic Falls, but that's just me."
[22:37] * +Mira_Atella grabs another 100 thrones and passes them to him, "I knew you'd be helpful. Anything else you can think of?"
[22:37] <@Grendel> "We should make that the primary location then, and send out smaller groups to the others, just incase."
[22:38] * +Jonatan nods in agreement, though remains skeptical
[22:39] <+Mira_Atella> "Will we need to take the route to toxic falls that we used last time?"
[22:39] <@BradGM> Bowels "Well, toxic Falls is sorta into the underhive, if yuou move with your buddies, everyone will know."
[22:40] <@BradGM> Bowels "Plus it's Hatter season for months now, I never saw that much headless bodies lying aorund."
[22:41] <+Mira_Atella> "What would you suggest?"
[22:43] <@BradGM> Bowels "Go in discreetly, disguised."
[22:44] <@BradGM> Bowels "Which I can get. and sell to you."
[22:44] <@Grendel> "Of course."
[22:44] <@BradGM> He smiles, showing off his dirty, crooked thin teeth."
[22:44] * +Mira_Atella nods. "Like we said, we are on a time schedule, so as long as it can be done quickly, that's fine."
[22:45] <@BradGM> Bowels "howe long are we tlaking about?"
[22:46] <@BradGM> ((about 25 horus left or so))
[22:46] <+Jonatan> "25 hours"
[22:49] <@BradGM> Bowels "Hmm..and how many disguises you need?"
[22:50] <@Grendel> "We will need 4..will the other teams need them as well?"
[22:51] <+Jonatan> "The stakeout teams are already equiped to be incogneto"
[22:51] <@Grendel> "Then 8 just in case."
[22:52] <@BradGM> Bowels "I,ll need some money, got to pay to get good stuff, see?"
[22:52] <+Mira_Atella> "Of course."
[22:52] <+Jonatan> ((wish I had intimidate right now))
[22:53] <+Mira_Atella> (( not sure it would help much with him, considering where he lives heh ))
[22:54] <@BradGM> Bowels "'Nother 100 shoudl do the trick, then 100 more when I bring you the goods, deal?"
[22:54] <@Grendel> "Fifty."
[22:56] <@BradGM> Bowles "50? C'mon those are gonna be quality disguises, the best! it's a 100 for you because we're buddies right?"

[23:00] <@BradGM> Bowels "Pelasure doin' business hehe..It should take me half a day to get everything done. want to meet up at the same place as last time?"
[23:00] * @Grendel nods. "Very well."

[23:05] <+Mira_Atella> "Very well."

[23:08] <@Grendel> ((Sounds about right))
[23:08] <+Mira_Atella> (( sure ))
[23:09] <@BradGM> You leave Bowels and return to the Hive City.
[23:11] <@Grendel> "I am not sure if the disguises will be needed, but I suppose it tilts the calculations to our favor."
[23:11] <@BradGM> You managed to get back within the =I='s vox net. Jon you also can manage to get back onto the Arbites Vox netwrok.
[23:11] <+Jonatan> Using the information he's gained, Jon redirects the teams as needed
[23:12] <@BradGM> ((Moving what towrd Toxic Falls?))
[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( I'd say the 3 of them obviously, 2 others as backup, and 3 for the alternate? There's 8 total yeah? ))
[23:14] <+Jonatan> ((7 total))
[23:14] <+Mira_Atella> (( If that's what you meant anyway ))
[23:14] <@BradGM> ((7, 2 being too deep to be important, so 5 left, including Toxic Falls))
[23:15] <+Mira_Atella> (( hmm dunno then ))
[23:15] <@Grendel> ((was toxic falls one of the 3 original?))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((no))
[23:16] <@BradGM> ((So tehre's 3 Arbites team and the 1 Rapid response team))
[23:17] <@BradGM> (Falcon is a team, Baltazal can almost count as a team of his own as well))
[23:17] <@Grendel> ((heh))
[23:18] <@Grendel> ((We take Toxic Falls, Falcon takes location 2, arbites take the next 3?))
[23:18] <@BradGM> ((don'T ask me, tell the others))
[23:18] <+Jonatan> (Have 2 of the arbites and the inq team take the three major one, rapid at Toxic, and one arbite patrol the other two)
[23:19] <+Jonatan> (or is patrolling too much to ask?)
[23:19] <@BradGM> ((deep in skavie turf, it would be risky: roll command JOn for that, +20 becasue you're working with the =I= and all))
[23:20] * @Grendel recommends that Mockingbird takes Toxic falls, while Falcon takes the second most likely, the 3 Inquisiton teams take the other 3. Rapid response holds back for now, until they're needed, or if things go wrong.
[23:20] <+Jonatan> (hmm)
[23:21] * +Mira_Atella listens, not saying much as information on each location isn't readily available.
[23:21] <+Jonatan> ((Maybe just ingore the skavies. For now))
[23:21] <+Jonatan> ((It'd be better to investigate and try to keep cutting the possibilities))
[23:22] * @Ribonizer (hehe@bas5-hull20-3096484699.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Quit: Chichin ga puipui)
[23:22] <@Grendel> "If we keep track of the players then we can send the rapid response teams in deep enough if needed."
[23:23] * +Mira_Atella nods.
[23:23] <+Jonatan> ((Right, so, 3 abrites on the three major, inq on toxic falls, rapid on hold))
[23:24] <+Jonatan> ((3 abrites on the three major, inq slipt on toxic falls and other, rapid on hold?))
[23:25] <@Grendel> ((Sounds right))
[23:25] <+Mira_Atella> (( Works for me ))
[23:27] <@BradGM> You organize the Arbites and arrange the operation with Falson. With all that time spend in the underhive, there is 22 left on the clock.
[23:28] <@BradGM> ((adn ok if we stop it here guys?))
[23:29] <+Jonatan> ((I'm going to look for any snitches))
[23:29] <+Mira_Atella> (( sure ))
[23:29] <@Grendel> ((I'm good. Not quite sure what I'm going to do for 22 hours, except maybe polish Mira's skull for eventual use as a servo-skull))

[23:34] <+Jonatan> Knowing a simi-reliable source, Jon takes off, taking a oversized coat instead of his armor
[23:34] <@BradGM> you find a snithc who'll talk; the roaders are getting ready for something big, bound to happen in a day or so; Big enough that brg himself is rumoured to show up. You also got confirmation that they are getting money from Barg's organisation, which helped them mainitain the upper hand in Toxic Falls even since they became the Watch gang of the Hive sector.
[23:35] <+Jonatan> ((So toxic Falls is looking better))
[23:35] <@BradGM> They are armed with quality weaons, las weapons and other SP automatic wepaonry, even have some basic flak armour, greandes, photo-visors..hot gear for such a low underhive gang.
[23:35] <@BradGM> ((yes))
[23:37] <+Jonatan> ((How big are the roaders?))
[23:37] <@BradGM> ((15-20 memebers, plus half a dozen to 10 juvies ))
